Festivals that come one after the other throughout the year with social, geographical, and religious values are an integral part of Nepal's culture. But living in Australia, is it possible to transfer the values of all these festivals to the new generation?


Key Points
  • Nepali festivals include social, scientific, religious, and environmental components
  • Some mythological references degrade women’s status in the society
  • Learning about culture and festivals are part of Nepali language classes in Australia
